When someone smokes $200 of cigarettes a month and won't pay $150 per month for an inhaler, I don't feel bad for them. At all. Maybe I'm a bad person or doctor for that, but I don't. But when a parent won't/can't spend $150/m on an inhaler that their kid needs because they have crappy insurance, it's the one set of drugs I actually have a hard time finding a cheap alternative for and have never really found a good patient assistance program. And it makes me sad. I include this rant in case someone out there knows what I'm missing. I doubt it. But, hey, I'm a hopeful guy.
... and I'd reckon a damn good doc to boot.

We see this every single day.

Avg BMI since I have started my career has skyrocketed.

Same for HTN. Same for rates of DM.

It is crushing. And I'm in an acute field. Those poor guys like hopeful, in a primary field.... yikes.

We can start a whole new thread on the destruction of medicine by lesser trained, lesser educated "providers" too....

Don't get me started on the state of medicine in our nation. Socialization is a bigger step backwards than anyone would realize.
